This kind of basketball game is really not interesting. It's just a way for schools to train students so they don't just bury themselves in books. The country really values students' physical fitness.
Zhao Xiaoyue cheered along with Lan Caihe, and the stands echoed with screams from the girls.
On the court, boys of varying heights sweated profusely. When one of them lifted his jersey to wipe his sweat, revealing a hint of his abs, the girls went wild.
The ear-piercing sound is deafening!
A basketball game has ended, with the high school students narrowly winning.
Lan Caihe exclaimed excitedly, "Ahhh, Xiaoyue, did you see that? Those senior students in the high school are so handsome! They even have abs! Ahhh!"
Zhao Xiaoyue's head ached from being shaken so much that her vision blurred.
"Stop, stop, stop, stop, can we be normal for once? You're still young, please be more composed."
“Oh, what’s the big deal?” Lan Caihe said nonchalantly. “These are just a little spice in our boring lives, an excuse to shout out our stress when we’re under a lot of pressure.”
Zhao Xiaoyue: "Tell me more, do you also experience pressure?"
If she hadn't finished her studies in her previous life, she wouldn't have been able to keep up with the pace of learning. She's a true academic superstar, a high-achieving student, excellent in every way!
Lan Caihe lightly patted Zhao Xiaoyue's shoulder, "Nonsense, do you really think I'm a god!"
"Let me put it this way. When I was in sixth grade, I had to represent the school in a science debate competition. I almost went crazy. I just couldn't release that anxiety, tension and restlessness."
Zhao Xiaoyue knew that when a person's mental capacity is exceeded, their mental state will collapse.
As society continues to develop and competition intensifies, many people's breakdown can happen in an instant.
Lan Caihe continued, "If you confide in someone about this kind of pressure and negative emotions, you will be accused of being neurotic, or even worse."
Lan Caihe pouted, "But one day, I discovered that these places with competitions and performances are great places to vent your emotions."
Zhao Xiaoyue replied, "How so?"
"Think about it, in a crowd as big as the ocean, they shout, you shout, they yell, you yell, you're all doing the same thing. Do you dare to criticize me for being loud or not pleasant, or for disturbing you? You can forget all your troubles."
Zhao Xiaoyue understood!
That's true, she'll try it sometime.
"After I vent my negative emotions, I feel much better. I often go to noisy and bustling environments and join in the noise with those people. That's why I am who I am today!"
Yes, I understand. Only children are often accompanied by their parents' high hopes: that they will either soar to great heights or be reborn from the ashes.
Lan Caihe's excellence was something she was born with, and her parents must have had high hopes for her.
It's perfectly normal to feel stressed.
"Sometimes I want to be a little more decadent, but the environment doesn't allow me to do that."
Both of them fell silent.
In life, there are many times when you are destined not to do whatever you want.
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore! I'll take you to relax sometime, I guarantee you'll be satisfied!"
Haha, with eighteen grappling techniques and hand-to-hand combat, forget about the pressure, you'll even forget who you are, and you'll sleep soundly until dawn.
"That's great, but I'm more curious about you as a person."
Zhao Xiaoyue asked, puzzled, "Why are you curious about this?"
"You came from Xihe City, so why was you given to us by Boss Hou of Century Club, and why were you treated so politely?"
"That wasn't just being polite to me. He's a friend of my master, and the politeness was directed at my master. As for their relationship, we don't know, but he's been very kind to me."
Lan Caihe nodded, "That's true. I won't say anything more. Remember our appointment at Huarong Port City tomorrow night, don't forget."
No way, Yu Muqi told her a long time ago to go sit there, but she couldn't be bothered to respond.
The master says he won't care, but one day she'll have to go and offer incense to the master's wife again to complain.
Zhao Xiaoyue walked along unsteadily by herself.
Wow, the streetlights nowadays aren't as good as the ones that came out later. They keep flashing and making a hissing sound!
"Help! Help! Please let me go, please!! No..."
Hearing the noise, Zhao Xiaoyue ran into a dark alley and saw a girl being violently pushed away. The girl fell to the ground, her clothes torn, her hair disheveled, and she looked pitiful.
Upon seeing the newcomer, the man quickly put on a mask and pulled his baseball cap down even further. He looked at the person on the ground with disgust, his eyes chillingly cold.
Zhao Xiaoyue casually broke off a tree branch. "Hey, what are you doing? In broad daylight, under the clear sky, you actually bullied a girl. Are you even human?" Zhao Xiaoyue pointed at the person and scolded, "Look at you, all dressed up, yet you do such inhuman things. I've already encountered the Two Sessions this month, and I'm just wondering, is this a tradition of your Haishi No. 2 Middle School?"
A whole bunch of things.
The streetlights flickered on and off, providing only perfunctory illumination.
Zhao Xiaoyue was in the open, while the other person remained completely hidden in the shadows, dressed in black, and the two faced off.
Zhao Xiaoyue couldn't see the person's face clearly, but Situ Ming could see Zhao Xiaoyue very clearly.
In an instant, thoughts surged, and then nothing remained.
Yes, this person is Situ Ming.
He just wanted to have a smoke somewhere when this woman suddenly appeared and tried to hug him, and then she said some inexplicable things.
He kicked it away reflexively.
Then, unexpectedly, Zhao Xiaoyue rushed out and started yelling at him.
Situ Ming glanced at her and said, "Mind your own business!" Then he prepared to leave.
Zhao Xiaoyue's eyes flashed, "Trying to run away? You've gone too far! I'll beat you to death!"
